If u have a no journaling rom this is actually a bad idea also the 4 finger method u can do while the phone is on off or whenever u damn please but can cause issues if u are running a no journal Rom same with the reboot buttons.

Also thanks for the tip on the contact swipin to call I was going insane double clicking different buttons to call someone.

Here is a neat trick I found out today for some users it works u can fully brick ur phone where it doesn't turn on any more if u use the latest bonsai beta and shutdown ur phone it won't go back on lol

No in all seriousness I'm not bashing bonsai at all I love it and glad I have titanium backup schedules and tep plan with sprint :D

I'm just shocked I actually bricked a phone I feel like I accomplished something grand :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sLiKK:
Hello,

I been running Bionix V 1.2.1 on my vibrant. Just flashed a segmented battery mod for Bionix V 1.2 from here

As per the instructions, i first wiped cached and then wiped the dalvik cache in recovery before flashing the zip for the mod. Rebooted and the phone has been on boot animation since the past 20 minutes. I took the battery out and started the phone after putting the battery in. The phone is still doing the same thing.

Any one know whats going on with the phone?

Thanks.

Update: Fixed. I was able to get into recovery and restore my nandroid backup.

The EpicCM7 team needs more information about GPS in the Samsung SPH-D700 / Sprint Epic 4G!

Specifically, we need to know:

What Chipset is used for GPS

What are the GPIO Pin Assignments for GPS on this chip

Where in gpio-sysfs are these located

With this information, Dameon will be able to get the GPS functional.

Without it, we're stuck.

Information gathered so far indicates that we have a Qualcomm QSC6085 chipset.

I've read 2 datasheets on it so far, neither of which deal specifically with its GPS functions:

I think this should be moved back to where it was..... This is def development stuff not general
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
I concur. This needs to be moved back to development. This is NOT something that is general, or that the general public is going to know. It is highly specific to GPIO and gps assignments.

Doesn't the milestone and Droids have the Qualcomm QSC6085 chipset as well..maybe get some info from milestone developers as they've been dealing with the chipset far longer?

[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
Wheras that may help, I still need the gpio pins used on the epic. There are two we need for interfacing with the gps.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mkasick:
Are you sure the GPS is exposed on the Hummingbird GPIOs?

I haven't looked too carefully, but I imagine that GPS communication is done with the baseband via dpram. At least, there's a ton of GPS-related foo in /system/lib/libsec-ril40.so, and /system/lib/libsecgps.so uses rild.
[Epic 4G Android Development] arashed31:
The GPS and CDMA modem is the Qualcomm QSC6085 used in the Droid X, Droid 2 versions, and the original Droid. It's also used in the Samsung Moment and Acclaim. A few months ago I took apart a Samsung Rant and found the chip in there too.
[Epic 4G Android Development] UberPinguin:
Thanks, arashed31. I had begun to wonder if maybe Samsung took this in-house, too. All of the GPS GPIO code in the kernel sources for our phones is in Samsung's s5pv and s3pc files.

We've got some tantalizing hints from those source files, but so far have not definitively located the files within gpio-sysfs.

If anyone wants to have a look at the code in question, and maybe provide a stroke of genius, dive right in!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
It was on Eclair. It used to be gpio120 and gpio121 (The ones in questions anyway)
[Epic 4G Android Development] mkasick:
Well which pins are you looking for?

That kernel defines eight GPS GPIO pins, don't know how accurate the are though. Anyways, this should be their assignment:

GPIO_GPS_UART_RXD: S5PV210_GPA0(4): gpio4
GPIO_GPS_UART_TXD: S5PV210_GPA0(5): gpio5
GPIO_GPS_UART_CTS: S5PV210_GPA0(6): gpio6
GPIO_GPS_UART_RTS: S5PV210_GPA0(7): gpio7
GPIO_GPS_nRST: S5PV210_GPG3(2): gpio122 or S5PV210_GPG3(0): gpio120
GPIO_GPS_PWR_EN: S5PV210_GPG3(1): gpio121
GPIO_GPS_CLK_INT: S5PV210_GPG3(2): gpio122
GPIO_GPS_CLK_EN: S5PV210_MP04(6): ?

Everywhere I looked GPA0 is the first gpiochip enumerated, so those assignments should be right. However they're not exported, instead the UART should be configured as the serial device /dev/s3c2410_serial1 (which is probably what you want).

GPIO_GPS_nRST & GPIO_GPS_PWR_EN do appear exported. The gpiochip enumeration is the same through GPG3 between that kernel and EB13, and on my phone GPG3 is gpiochip120, so those assingments are probably accurate. They should also appear as "/sys/devices/virtual/sec/gps/GPS_nRST" & "/sys/devices/virtual/sec/gps/GPS_PWR_EN", but I can't confirm.

GPIO_GPS_nRST's assigment depends on CONFIG_SAMSUNG_GALAXYSB, I don't know which config you're using so I can't say which it is. Although the "SAMSUNG_GALAXYSB" assignment conflicts with GPIO_GPS_CLK_INT, so who knows.

Here's the thing, GPIO_GPS_nRST & GPIO_GPS_PWR_EN are defined as "dummies" (S5PV210_GPIO_END) in both DI18 and EB13, so they're never used. While /dev/s3c2410_serial1 does exist in EB13, no proceses use it when GPS is active.

If I had to guess, this is leftover from the GSM Galaxy S where the GPS chip might've been separate from the baseband. CDMA basebands integrates GPS, in part, I imagine, for E911 support.

So again, are you sure the GPS is exposed on the Hummingbird's GPIOs?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
I guess not. But in doing so they have severely hindered our ability to get the gps working. Its still possible, but its going to prove to be more difficult.
[Epic 4G Android Development] mkasick:
What are you using for the ril?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
RIL is using the samsung proprietary crap. No way around that bit for now. The rilj (framework.jar) is using some patches to get our radio working. But the rilc is samsung proprietary.
[Epic 4G Android Development] noobnl:
GPS is controlled by the Modem(qsc6085) chipset, and it called GPSOne we CANNOT use the gps from the gsm version, the problem you going to need the libhardware.so (samsung) to get gps working
[General Questions and Answers] -_Maximus_-:
My boss and I are having a little debate/bet:

I argued to him that the screen off animation (like the old tube style tv television turning off) was PURPOSELY animated so that the colors appear to separate as the animation progresses before the screen turns off, while HE insists that this effect was not intentional, and only looks that way because that's how screens work..

Does anyone have a definitive answer on this? I'm 99% sure that I'm right I just cant prove it with fact..

Thanks!

[Thunderbolt General] mark3748:
Memory is addressed in base 2 (binary) and that is why 1024=1k. Also 8 bits to one Byte.

Frequency is base 10 (decimal) so 1000MHz=1GHz, 1024MHz=1.024GHz.
[Thunderbolt General] funkybside:
Right. The reason its 1024 for storage devices is because of base 2. That's no applicable for processer speeds.

[Atrix 4G Accessories] mattyv:
Does anyone know if it's possible to get the vehicle dock interface running in the car without the vehicle dock?

I have the Multimedia Dock/hd dock and was planning on mounting that on my dashboard and was wondering how to get the option in the list to use the car dock setup?
[Atrix 4G Accessories] fearthefox:
Yes you can get the car dock program running without the car dock. You need the app called Anycut from the market. This app makes shortscuts for you. The intructions are listed here in the forum. Just search for Anycut.

If you cannot find it, I will see if I can help further.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] killerb7854:
Anycut works and is a neat app. However, I use launch x and couldn't put the anycut shortcut into my app widget. If you get the "Car Mode" app from the market, it does the exact same thing (pretty much a short cut to car dock) and acts like any other app.

Just note if you use the car mode app be sure to click the app icon after you close it otherwise whenever you hit the home button it will bring up the car home. Took me a min to figure that out. :p

[Flipside General] telegraph0000:
My wife just got the phone...goes from 100% at 10pm to 0% at 6am.

From 100% at 7am to 30% at 12pm...

Simple use (phone call, screen on while searching for stuff on the phone, not online) will bring the battery down about 1% a minute...

What's the deal??? It's been doing this straight out of the box...

what have you guys (and gals) done to truly stretch the battery out?

I can run my HD2 with Android, and it lasts me at most 2 days without charging...she can't go 1/2 day without the battery arleady telling her it's low.

also, she's been getting these "memory full" messages--again, we haven't loaded any programs other than maps, jorte, something simple...

how much memory does this phone come with, and why would a message not allowing her to even send a text message come about? No. she's not a heavy texter--but even then, her 5 year old Jitterbug of a phone did just fine with over 1 1/2 years of texts...

Getting pretty frustrated with the phone--battery life, full memory, and all...

By the way, I did root the phone, and went to the systems folder to try and delete bloatware, but it didn't allow me to...tips?

Thank you for reading my rant...
[Flipside General] cuzincuz:
Same problem here

I have the same problem with my FlipSide. Had it for about a month before I got the "Low memory" warnings, but definitely the battery life sucks ... lasts a day if I'm lucky. At first I was doing soft resets to get rid of the memory warnings, but then they became more and more prevalent, until finally I had to do a factory reset. Fortunately, motoBlur (using gmail account) backed up all of my contacts and most of my preferences. All I had to do was re-install the apps from the Marketplace and update a few remaining prefs. But I would certainly not rec this phone to anyone.
[Flipside General] rignfool:
I don't know what your exact issue is.... but if you search thru the market and find link2sd... and follow the instructions... you can deal with the memory issue...

Second... i use juicedefender... it lets me get thru most of the day on one charge... though if i use slacker or pandora i have to charge during the day...
[Flipside General] gabewolf:
Awesome. link2sd works wonders. Thanks.
[Flipside General] cuzincuz:
YES - juicedefender works wonders .... on my second day of battery life now and still "in the green" !!
[Flipside General] telegraph0000:
what settings do you have to make it last that long?

I'm amazed that with so many people that made the choice for a Flipside (based on thread views) that no one has come up with a Blur free rom as of yet...
[Flipside General] JBallin4life27:
try using something called links2sd too....helps with memory issue
[Flipside General] bakageta:
The problem with the memory filling up, aside from the dreadfully small amount we have to start with, is there's some bug in the rom that steadily builds /data/local.prop.bak until it fills the entire /data partition. As far as I can tell, the process that does this is using a pretty ridiculous amount of cpu as well, the phone often is physically hot to the touch because of it.

My workaround, which isn't for everyone, is to just open a command line when I first boot the phone, erase local.prop.bak and replace it with a 0-bye file, change the permissions to 000 and owner to root, and then kill the process. It only takes a minute, and can be done from a terminal app on the phone. On a reboot, it needs to be done again, but I rarely have to reboot my phone, and I often go 36-48 hours between charges now.

I'm extremely frustrated that we haven't seen a software update, either to address this common issue or upgrade us to something newer than 2.1. 168mb of app space is simply unacceptable, especially on a phone with no option to move stuff to SD built in. My poor original MyTouch 3G had more space, it's just ridiculous.
[Flipside General] pre4speed:
Do you have an exact walkthru on how to do this?
[Flipside General] bakageta:
Sure! Open a terminal on the phone, or adb shell into it.

su

cd /data

rm local.prop.bak

echo > local.prop.bak

chown root.root local.prop.bak

chmod 000 local.prop.bak

I find that this sometimes makes a related process run away with 100% cpu. From the command prompt, run "top" and check to see if there's something eating all the cpu, I forget the exact name of the process but I'll edit this next time I reboot my phone. Mine typically has a PID of 1499, but individual phones may be different. Once you find the PID, run "kill <pid>" (ie, "kill 1499") and it shouldn't restart.

(edit)

So, a bit of an update... I noticed my local.prop was something ridiculous like 16mb, so I decided to take a look at it... It seems like it's getting corrupted also, so I wiped out everything unreadable, and this solved my issue with the growing local.prop.bak file. It seems like it's growing again, so it's something that'll need to be dealt with on a regular basis, but at least it's not needed on every reboot. I'm tempted to do a fresh reinstall from the .sbf and back up the original file, so I can see what exactly should be there.

Those of you coming from WinMo 6.5 might remember the incredibly useful little program called "KeepMyRingtones"; it backed up and restored individual contact's ringtones so you didn't have to manually add them after you flashed a new ROM.

I can't find a similar Android app. Am I just being dense here, or is that something that's truly missing?

MS has still chosen not to store ringtones in Outlook; you'd think Google would support it in Gmail, or at least provide an option to store shortcuts to restore them. On that subject, am I the only one who feel that the Gmail contact manager is... ummm... primitive?
